Once holding the title of the world’s heaviest woman, Pauline Potter’s transformation is as astonishing as her former lifestyle. Known for her extreme eating habits, Pauline’s typical breakfast featured six scrambled eggs, half a pound of bacon, four hash browns, and six slices of buttered toast—topped off with a milkshake made from ice cream.

At her peak weight of 50 stone (around 700 pounds), Pauline’s daily routine was far from ordinary. She gained international attention not just for her size, but for openly sharing the extreme diet she believed could help her secure a world record.
But what’s even more remarkable than her past eating habits is the drastic change she has made since then. Pauline managed to shed over 500 pounds, a feat that left her virtually unrecognizable from her former self. Her transformation story is a powerful reminder of how dramatically life can change with determination and the will to take back control.
